Thanks. The answer to "Recycle contents invisible" question below solved
it. I will also run the error checking you suggest. I have had problems
lately, damage files etc, so maybe that will also help find any problems.

I only have Norton Antivirus.

Run Error Checking. Reboot. Try to empty the Recycle Bin again.

Error Checking (chkdsk.exe).
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive you want to
check and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Select both of these:

o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors

Then click the Start button.

A message will popup.

[[The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility
needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files
can be accessed only by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule this
disk check to occur the next time you restart the computer?]]

Click YES.

Then reboot.

You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.

For a look at the chkdisk log.

Recycle Bin - Deleting Problems

Do you have Norton Utilities or SystemWorks?

Norton Protected Recycle Bin

Right click the Recycle Bin | Properties | Norton Protection tab

Nprotect is part of Norton Utilities. (It replaces the default recycle
bin.) It prevents the user from accidentally deleting data from the PC
and Recycle Bin. Adds an extra layer of safety before you remove
deleted files from the Recycled Bin.

SYMPTOMS
After you install a version of Norton AntiVirus, the Recycle Bin no
longer appears on the desktop.

CAUSE
This issue occurs because Norton AntiVirus changes the name of the
Recycle Bin to "Norton Protected Recycle Bin." Only the words "Norton
Protected" appear below the icon on the desktop because there is not
sufficient space to display the longer name.]]

Ok, after 4 hours on the phone with Microsoft my Windows XP was
repaired. Service Pack 2 was reinstalled and perhaps had not been
installed after but before Windows XP. My Firewall was back, Norton's
could install everying seemed fine.

However, now the recycling bin shows no files but acts like they are
there. Help! A ll the problems have seemed connected but Tech Support
address them one by one or not at all and it has been two months of
Windows XP problems, starting with the "Windows has encountered a
serious problem" blue screen of death. What's a person suposet to do?
